Native apps on Apple OS display a spinning beachball when they lose control of 
themselves.

The 'Force Quit' panel is how to know the app is unrecoverable and needs to be 
killed or force quited or relaunched.

I just experienced a lengthy delay and the lower half article display was 
missing in blank completely.

;; C-u C-x C-e in scratch buffer 
(dotimes (i 100000000))nil

No hourglass appears. The summary article panel, at upper half, follows the 
mouse pointer with highlight between square brackets before nil appears, it 
seems.
